• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 8A136 - Use flg 'base chk on lvl of pay doc' only with 'no accum.' and 'CI prop.' ?

  The SAP error message 8A136, which states "Use flag 'base chk on lvl of pay doc' only with 'no accum.' and 'CI prop.'", typically occurs in the context of payroll processing within SAP. This error is related to the configuration of payroll processing settings, particularly in the area of wage types and their accumulation settings.
  Cause:
  The error arises when there is a mismatch in the configuration settings for wage types in the payroll schema. Specifically, it indicates that the flag for "base check on level of pay document" is being used inappropriately with certain settings. The flag should only be used in conjunction with the "no accumulation" and "CI property" settings. If these conditions are not met, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should check the following:
  
  
  Wage Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code SM30 or SM31 and access the relevant wage type configuration table (e.g., T512W).
  Verify the settings for the wage type that is causing the error. Ensure that the "base check on level of pay document" flag is only set for wage types that also have the "no accumulation" and "CI property" settings enabled.
  
  
  
  Payroll Schema:
  
  Review the payroll schema (transaction code PE01) to ensure that the logic implemented does not conflict with the wage type settings.
  Check the sequence of operations in the schema to ensure that the wage types are being processed correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run a test payroll to see if the error persists. Monitor the logs for any additional errors or warnings.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to payroll configuration for further guidance on wage type settings and their implications.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Wage Types: In SAP Payroll, wage types are used to categorize different types of payments and deductions. Each wage type has specific characteristics that determine how it behaves during payroll processing.
  Accumulation Settings: Accumulation settings determine whether a wage type accumulates amounts over time or is processed as a one-time payment.
  CI Property: This refers to the characteristics of wage types that are related to the cumulative information (CI) in payroll processing.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after checking these configurations, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP payroll expert or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
